Derbyshire Falcons take on a Chesterfield Invitation XI in a Twenty20 friendly at Queen’s Park, Chesterfield on Wednesday (July 1) at 6pm in a game that serves as preparation for the upcoming Chesterfield Festival of Cricket.

The Chesterfield Invitational XI will be captained by former Derbyshire fast bowler Kevin Dean and will be supported by Chesterfield coach Chris Marples.

Overseas players down to play for Dean’s side are Australian test bowler Michael Beer (Swarkestone) and fellow countryman Josh Clarke (Ockbrook), South Africans Jurie Snyman (Denby), Ryan Cartwright (Eckington) and Josh Savage (Denby) as well as New Zealand’s Graeme Tryon (Spondon).
